Btw - in the interview they mention further integration of the webstore into codeina/codecbuddy. If it starts looking like we're pushing closed source software then that, imo, is when codeina gets dumped out of the distribution.
This is not addressed to Seth, I'm just using his first email as the reply point.
I don't have a lot to add after this very long thread, but I will say this:
Remember -- Codeina is an *attempt* to address one of the Constant Complaints that we also get in Fedora. Every time I have ever been at a Fedora event with Jeremy, we turn to each other and try to guess how long it will take before someone asks The MP3 Question.
We are not making ANY MONEY off of Codec Buddy, either Fedora or Red Hat.
If it ends up being a failed experiment, it can be pulled in Fedora 9. If it ends up needing improvements, then it can get them. If everyone likes it, then we can feel good about ourselves.
Nothing is ever set in stone. Let's give it some time to be digested by our Average Users and see how it goes.
